Kelsey's 3rd birthday

Brooklyn is starting to understand simple questions from our

neighbors- they are so nice.

We had a birthday party for Kelsey in front of the houses and the neighbor kids had fun playing pin the tail on the sheep (it seemed like new game to them- no one really knew how to do it) and then we had a pinata and cake and presents. We were sad not to have Colin, but the older

kids knew it was Kelsey's birthday and insisted on having a party on the day.

The next week Colin came and our two neighbors were anxious to take him cycling.

They were waiting for him all week and were excited to show him around the countryside. After 23 miles they headed back and were happy that Colin could keep up. After all one of them goes on 4 hour bike rides every other day and the other one is a triathlete.

So they plann

ed another ride for Friday. That time they went 40 miles and I was happy to see Colin a little worn out. It's nice that he has someone to exercise with here.
